The curved eyebrows, the high nose bridge, the familiar lips, and especially the iconic teardrop mole at the corner of the eye, all indicate that the person in the painting is Su Huaiyue.
Wei Che looked at the painting that was gradually taking shape. After a moment of silence, he crumpled the drawing paper into a ball and held it tightly in his hands, as if this could hide his inner secrets.
He stroked the drawing paper in his hand for a while, then lit the candle and held the piece of drawing paper close to the candle flame.
The flames quickly devoured the paper, making crackling sounds.
Wei Che's eyes were fixed on the burning drawing paper, with emotions surging in his eyes, but he did nothing. He just watched the black ashes flying and falling on the table.
Leaving the place in a mess.
At this time, Jing Zhiwan was in her room, looking out the window with empty eyes.
The jealousy and resentment in her heart grew wildly like weeds.
She felt that she had been fooled by Wei Che and Su Huaiyue. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly stood up and swept everything on the table to the ground.
When the maid heard the noise, she hurried in to check. Seeing the messy room, she was so scared that she dared not make a sound.
"Go, find out what Su Huaiyue has been busy with recently, and keep a close eye on Wei Che's every move!" Jing Zhiwan said viciously.
The maid responded quickly and hurried out.
While Su Huaiyue was ill, Wei Ersao and Wei Yunrou took over the management of Meiyan Pavilion.
Wei Ersao was busy counting accounts in the accounting office every day. One day, she opened the account book as usual. As the abacus beads clattered, lines of accounts appeared clearly before her eyes.
When she saw the column recording the income, her eyes were instantly attracted to it.
The numbers in the account book quickly increased from a few hundred taels to several thousand taels in just one week, and the growth trend continued.
Her eyes were fixed on the rising number, and her eyes widened as if she had seen some rare treasure.
In her eyes, that series of numbers seemed to have turned into countless gold, silver and treasures waving at her.
Every income was like a heavy hammer, hitting the door of desire in her heart that had been closed for a long time.
Her fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, slowly and rhythmically at first, but as her inner desires continued to surge, the tapping became faster and faster, just like her frantic heartbeat.
An unnatural blush gradually appeared on her face, spreading from her cheeks to her ears, like the sunset glow on the horizon dyed by fiery clouds, revealing her inner excitement and anxiety.
"So much silver, so much..."
The sound was as small as a mosquito's hum, but it was filled with endless greed.
She struggled with her conscience for a long time, but in the end, greed prevailed.
Mrs. Wei licked her lips. "I've been busy running around for Meiyan Pavilion for so many days. I've been so worried and exhausted. I get up early and stay at the shop late every day to handle all kinds of chores. This money is what I deserve. I just took a small portion. No one will notice. Besides, I'm just borrowing it temporarily. When the shop makes more money in the future, I'll quietly make up for it."
She kept repeating these words, trying to make herself feel at ease and make this greed seem justified.
Finally, one afternoon when no one was paying attention, Wei Ersao decided to take action.
She first stood up carefully, keeping her ears alert to any movement outside the accounting office, fearing that someone might suddenly come in.
She tiptoed slowly towards the cabinet where the silver was kept, pausing every step to listen for any unusual sounds outside.
When she reached the cabinet, she slowly squatted down and quickly scanned the surroundings. After making sure that there was no one there, she slowly opened the cabinet door.
Her hands trembled slightly as she reached into the cabinet and picked out a few smaller silver ingots.
She held the silver tightly in her hand, her palms sweating, and the cold silver became warm in her hand.
After hiding the silver, she returned to the table and cooked the accounts.
She took a deep breath and picked up the pen, but her hands couldn't stop shaking. Her pen kept dancing on the account book, trying to cover up the fact that she had taken the silver by modifying the numbers and account details.
As the warehouse door was slowly closed, the wind from the gap blew up a page of the account book on the table, and the fresh ink stains slowly dried in the air.
On the other hand, as Liu Yun Pavilion began to use the beauty cream from Mei Yan Pavilion, there were many more men among the guests of Mei Yan Pavilion.
That day, the Beauty Pavilion was bustling with activity. A man in a blue robe walked into the shop, looking a little nervous. Next to him was a woman in a pink dress, her eyes smiling and curious.
It's just that her bare face is a little rough, and she looks a lot paler without makeup.
As soon as the woman entered the store, she was attracted by the exquisite decoration and the wide variety of beauty creams.
She pulled the man's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Husband, the things here look so interesting. Why did you suddenly think of bringing me here?"
The man's eyes were instantly flustered, and they began to wander around. He didn't dare to look his wife in the eye. He raised his hand to touch his nose and stammered, "Uh... I... I saw a lot of young ladies come here to buy things, so I thought of bringing you to have a look. Maybe there's something suitable for you."
As he spoke, his eyes kept wandering around the store, but he didn't dare to fall on his wife's face.
Who wouldn't know what this looks like? It was obvious that I only found out about this thing after going to Liuyun Pavilion.
The girls in Liuyun Pavilion are all pretty and beautiful. When the man returns, he naturally cannot bear to see his wife's rough and ugly appearance. He must bring her here for transformation if he has the chance.
Wei Yunrou, who was tidying the shelves nearby, saw the scene clearly. She couldn't help but curl her lips, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Hmph, if I find out that my future husband has been to a brothel, I will definitely break his third leg!"
Her eyes were wide open and her face was full of anger.
Wei Che looked at Wei Yunrou from the side, nodded seriously, and said, "You don't need to do it when the time comes, let me do it."
His eyes were firm and his tone carried a hint of unquestionable authority.
After hearing this, the anger on Wei Yunrou's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a happy smile. She jumped around Wei Che and said, "Fifth brother is the best!"
After resting in bed for a week, Su Huaiyue gradually recovered.
On this day, she was sitting at the table, concentrating on researching and developing new beauty jar products.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang in her mind: "Congratulations, host, the Meiyan Pavilion's revenue exceeds three thousand taels, and you will be rewarded with a projector."
